Our impact

What difference do we make?

Each year we report on the impact that our work and your support makes. How many treatments have we delivered? What difference does this make to patients, and what do they think of the quality of service provided?

This report marks the culmination of our 2019-2024 strategy and sets the stage for our exciting future plans as detailed in our new 2024-2029 growth strategy.

Why not grab a cuppa and dive in?

It’s a great way to see how, thanks to your help, mobile cancer care is changing lives for cancer patients across the country.

Inside you’ll find:
– Information about the number of patient visits to our units

As a charity that receives no government funding, it is your support that keeps our units operational and allows us to be there for patients, bringing cancer care closer to where it’s needed. In these challenging times, your continued commitment means more than ever – to us and to the patients who continue to benefit from our services – like Ian, whose experience you can read in the report.
